now i understand why mr Hoshino loved this
Mr Hoshino says hi ;)
Here after reading the book
Awesome! He brought me here too 👍
I read 2 times kafka on the shore
Came here literally after reading the part when Nakata died😢
🌻
I wish I forget ever reading that book so that I could experience it all over again 😢
Kafka on the shore ❤
Came here after reading Kafka on the shore. I have no connection and knowledge about classic music, but it sure sounds beautiful! Glad I checked it out and will definitely come back to listen to it again!
After Oshima took me to Schubert and his imperfection, now the coffee shop owner and Hoshino have brought me here . I have to thank you Murakami, I never had a friend who could introduce me such musics that you did.
There's nothing better when a piece is recorded immaculately on youtubd
I read that this was the last public performance of Beethoven where, of course, he was playing the piano. The performance had to stop as he could not keep pace with the other soloists. And, again, of course it was when his deafness had finally overcome him. Saying that, this piece has a special place in my heart. It expresses the character of Beethoven in every way. There is so much in this piece that just demands to be returned to again and again and again.
0:00 Allegro moderato
13:20 Scherzo. Allegro
20:04 Andante cantabile ma pero con moto
32:41 Allegro moderato - presto
Però.........
thx!
Lovely. I love the Archduke.
If i could only listen to one piece of music again in my life it would be this recording of this piece. Absolutely beautiful
I once heard this in a chamber festival in a church in Umeå, Sweden, it was early summer, the sun was still there even if it was late, and afterwards I was so happy! One of my lifes most memorable music moments.
Other than Finlandia, this is it.
1:55 the articulstion and phrasing in the piano part is divine
There is so much of Beethoven's comic genius in this work.
One of the best Archdukes I've heard to date.
Incredible, isn't it? Thanks for listening!
One of the most beautiful things in chamber music is the "sign language" between the participants. Here they express so vividly this wonderful style of communication!
Even at the end, Ani catches superfast with her eyes the slight bow of Paul 🙂
Excellent point. Ani is extraordinary in that regard. Without overdoing it
What a delight!
This performance captures the very essence of chamber music, of its profound intimacy. Beethoven´s "Archduke" caresses both the ear and the soul. There is no drama, no conflicts, no sharp edges as in most of his other superb compositions, just wit, joy, musical poetry and celestial beauty. I am overwhelmed and thankful.
Beautifully stated!! 🙏🏻🎻
Not even a smudge, great sobriety, absolute fidelity to the text. Well done !!!
My favorite piece by my favorite composer. Immaculately performed. Bravo 👏 👏 👏
I admire Camerata Pacifica for playing this with such a refined beauty, the right balance with no exaggerations at all.
Yet sensitive to that wonderful Beethoven beat.
The ensemble and sound quality of the string players is just great. Bravo!
Yes, I noticed the excellent sound production. Very well balanced.
Perhaps Beethovens best piano trio? I think it is, with this flowing melody in the Allegro Moderato, and then this wonderful third movement, Andante Cantabile, like poetry in motion. Very well played, Camerata Pacifica.
Perhaps the best piano trio, period.
Oh My. These musicians are indeed exhorting Beethoven to release his anxieties. So, so well done. Beautiful understanding of Beethoven. Really quite wonderful.
Nicely put, Brian! We wholeheartedly agree.
Agree Bryan. Profound conversation
Bryan nice to meet a man who is in touch with emotion.
I don't believe I've been hiding under a rock for the last decade or two, yet I have not encountered this group of players until now. The cellist is the greatest cellist I'd not heard of, yet I don't intend that to detract from the quality of the playing of the other two performers or of the whole group. I experienced the performance as stunning, and I don't think any of the old favourites are superior (eg Beaux Arts). Because of the high quality of the recording, it will be my go to from now on. For me, it captures fully the innate beauty of this compositional masterpiece, which has been for many years one of my favourite pieces of all music. Unlike one previous commentator I tend to prefer live (and therefore unedited and integral) performances over studio versions.
The maximum trio performing of beethoven,divine,superb,simply cheerful...
Ausgezeichnet!
Besides the great playing, I must say the acoustics of the room are perfect for this piece. Just the right amount of reverb.
The tearing sound in 21:53 follow by the piano and cello. It's just, fantastic, makes me cry.
Each one of them had, showed, and played with the joy of making music.
is this not literally the definition of professionalism?!
I love this piece. Masterful performance. Ani is mesmerizing.
I hold this to be one of the best clues to classical music, this theme Andante Cantabile at 20:05, a simple melody, or theme, that then developes into something so much more, leading to a deeper understanding of the initial thoughts of this work. For me it was a revelation when I the first time heard this musik IRL, long ago. And this fascination still is my companion.
That cellist is just pure beauty and passion. I feel like I can feel her body heat from where I'm sitting.
Obrigada, Sr. Hoshino🌻
Gorgeous. The cello sound is (in my view) just wonderful for this, but then they all are amazing.
I cannot stop listening to this...
Es gibt offensichtlich nicht nur Sol Gabetta!
Auch die beiden Herren: großartig!
Gott sei dank!
I can hear this all day ❤
This performance was an inspired revelation. The artists here are superb! I can’t imagine a better performance. Their playing of the last movement lifted my spirits. Thank you!
I agree. I love this piece, and many look upon the Zukerman, Barenboim, DuPre performance as being the definitive performance. However, I prefer this one, which for me is the best I have hard. They capture the soul of Beethoven, clearly enjoy what they play with a passion, and their timing and emphasis is immaculate.
Ditto.
In an extremely competitive category, this is one of, if not the, best performances of this precious piece I have ever heard.
it was practice tempo :(
Ma che meraviglia!
Beautifully done! Lovely balance and interplay between artists.
This music comfort me every time when I am depressed, especially in 3rd movement!
What a....!!!! Most amazing... BEST "archduke"!!!
最も美しく素晴らしい「大公」♪♪
As a lifetime pianist having worked on this with my parents, knowing Beaus Arts version, Ani is phenomenal as all
One of the best
Phrasing detail incredible
What a difficult work
Love❤️❤️
Thanks for your kind words, David. Talent always recognizes talent.
You lucky dog! I would love to have taken part in a performance or even just rehearsed this. My favourite recording is by The Oistrakh Trio, (possibly because my first experience). Opus 97 is so deep, rich, profound, it can sustain numberless interpretations. I just want each gneration to embrace, love it and give us unique performances of ir..
I have heard six versions now, since I met this beautiful piece on Danish tv. This is by far the best.
Absolutely wonderful performance. Thank you.
To my friends in El Paso Texas, we will hear this piece on August 20, 2022. I can't wait
Excelente el grupo Camerata Pacifica.
Sounds and looks fantastic!! Bravo to everyone!!
This is a beautifully played well-balanced and unpretentious interpretation of the trio. It is satisfying visually and musically. The video is very good and the sound superlative. Thank you for posting it complete.
I agree, this is such a pleasing video! No frills, good lighting, and a beautiful, coordinated, composed sound. What more could you ask for🤩
19:54 made me laugh. Classic Beethoven. Well done Camerata Pacifica!
A superb performance, paying top quality tribute to an outstanding composition.
The sound is the same as when Cortot and Casals played it. I like it. very much, wonderful.
A supreme joy. Thank you, thank you.
A special bravo to Ani Aznavoorian! But a wonderful performance by all! Thank you.
Such graceful playing; thanks for sharing!
Superb,extraordinary,the best of trío a real máster piece,beethoven surely had heavenly connections,his inspiration wasnt of this world.
Just marvelous 😪
Как же это прекрасно !
The Maestro would love to hear this.
Brevíssimo beautiful cellist, violin & Piano.
Mr hoshino would love this rendition
This. Wonderful Trip was composed at the same time Beethoven composed the 7th and 8th Symphonie in 1811 when the Master was 40 years old
How absolutely wonderful
Todo es un delicioso y extraordinario juego virtuoso, fruto de largas horas de ensamblado con tres descollantes solistas que saben muy bien lo que hacen, unidos por el violoncello, para brindarnos esta brillante interpretación para no cansar de escucharla. Muchas gracias. Mario Carlos Ginzburg desde Bs. As.
Guys you're amazing!
Immensely enjoyable.
thx for the great music
Superbly done. Bravo!
Wonderful playing, thank you! I'm studying this piece and it really helps to watch and listen to you guys.
As he listened to the first theme tears came to his eyes then the floodgates opened. Jeez, he thought, when was the last time I cried? He couldn't remember. [22/04/2024- Kafka on the shore- 44]
...Maravilloso!
Stupendous!
This is a delight! Doing a course on Beethoven's piano sonatas led me to investigate his trios. So glad I started with this one! Exquisite playing. What a joy brought to the isolation of lockdown :)

In many ways the trio of piano, violin and cello is the perfect music ensemble.
@@malcolmabram2957I completely agree. As an avid listener of chamber music, I feel the piano trio over time has been the richest genre
It is also most illuminating to listen to all of the previous trios, though I agree that this is the best
Felicitaciones a Cameraa Pacífica por la magnífica interpretación del "Archdduke" , una de mis favoritas obras de el meastro LVB. Siento curiosidad por el mencionado libro del escritor japonés Kafka on the Shore, el cual asocian con este piano trio. Tendré que leerlo , me pregunto si agregará algo de valor al esta sublime creación de Ludwig. . .
Good job. Congratulations !!
Beautiful sound they make together. If you only listen and not see, how do you know if you are not hearing the top musicians in the world? I thought I was. Bravo!!!
There is so much talent out there, why is it then certain names, performers, conductors, even composers etc are the ones we hear and see all the time at major music events. They're the ones who get all the media attention and receive all the accolades?
They may not be the greatest soloist, but good enough to be one of the best trios; besides all three are Juilliard graduate, Paul and Gilles Avery Fisher prize winners, Ani principal orchestra cellist.
In fact, these three ARE among the top musicians of the world! Otherwise, how could they play this masterpiece in such an impressing way? Each of them is so involved in making their own part a whole together with their partners! And the phrase starting around 30:00 is so touching! We must be very grateful that concerts like this once existed (right now they don't).

just finished kafka on the shore lol
Probably needless to say, but this is a performance of the entire 4-movement work, not just the 3rd movement as stated in the description above.
Good catch James, thank you!
@@CamerataPacifica I meant to add, not that it detracts in any way from this gorgeous HD rendering of a lovely performance. Thank you for posting it.

I see the pianist and the cellist are using tablets for score. How prevalent is it these days?
Im here after kafka on the shore
Me toooo.
Same here.
OK this is interesting. I just bought Kafka on the shore today and didn't know that this piece would be mentioned in it. What a coincidence.
Okey l am really reading Kafka on the shore right now and +1
See you everyone on the next.mozart posthorn serenade!!!

Wish I could hear a studio recording of this trio; they are exceptional musicians and the quality of this performance is limited by the acoustics of the auditorium.
As a musician and sound engineer, I hear nothing wrong with the acoustics on this recording. I'll bet if you change your focus from the sound to the composition itself and the marvelous playing of these fine musicians (goose-bumps at the end!), you'll be drawn into the joy and emotion of the music and will completely forget about any mundane considerations such as the acoustics of the recorded sound.
@@bensolomon1872 maybe they're referring to the sounds of people moving in the background? Occasionally you hear that

Who knew River Song plays cello
Yeees, totally 😂😂 it doesn't surprise me that much though, she had all the time she needed to learn all the instruments she wanted 😉 btw I wonder if River Song's exact lifespan is known in the series 🤔
Der 2. Satz ( ab 20:05) könnte sogar Herrn Trump Heilung bringen, aber der hört nicht so gern etwas von Frieden ("Pacifica") und Demut vor der Kunst eines Zeitgenossen und Landsmannes seiner Vorfahren aus Kallstadt (Germany).
Beethoven steals his own music. In op 109 the slow movement theme has the exact same beautiful
cadence as in movement III of the archduke. We are also dealing here with mainly tonic and dominant harmony. The themes are simple and they are perceived as beautiful because they speak to the listener.
This sounds very Schubert like to me, at least many parts of it.
Piano is too loud.
The fact that Beethoven was a weak melodist shows here. The main theme starts off nicely. The first two lines are beautiful but after that Beethoven runs out of imagination to complete them. It descends into chaos. If only Mozart had lived long enough to hear this- he would have written a nice set of variations or rewritten the main melody.
I hate those trills, like at 0:20 . Beethoven was a second rate melodist. Those trills helped him cover up his lack of melodies
You have got to be joking.
I am sorry, but I have to thoroughly disagree with you on that one. He may not have been the master of melody like Mozart, Schubert or Boccherini. But there is a spiritual dimension in the layout of his music which he worked tirelessly to achieve, and I believe he succeeded, to a level above any other composer. I also like the trills.
I don't think you understand the concept of melody. It can take many different forms. The melody you're referring is just one simple form and IMO, can be boring as the music goes on because it will repeat itself over and over. Beethoven's music never boring but Mozart's music can be. You know why now?
I love the trills. Beethoven was a master at form and all his music revolves around form including melody. He uses all elements of music masterfully to create form which is, after all, the most important thing in classical compositions. It’s what makes everything work hence why Beethoven’s music doesn’t rely on just one element to make it great. It uses them all to create the form of which he is second to none. Your lack of understanding is unfortunate but understandable based on your simple explanation as to why u think Beethoven was a poor melodist.
Yeah right.
